Definitely being used in Avengers 2. Could be used as an explanation for SW and QS's powers, as some of us speculated.

since a prison break was mentioned, i wonder if there isn't some illegal experimentation going on; using extremis? Thunderbolt Ross was willing to do it to Blonsky. maybe someone higher up signed off on it. or it might even be an enemy of the marvel U.S. conducting the experiments. i wish that they would work Zemo into this.

Wasn't Fox interested in crossing over their universe with the MCU? If so all they need to do is say that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's past is classified and then later reveal them as mutants when the time is right

Agreed.

But where did you hear that Fox was interested in crossing over? (if you can remember)

As for Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's ages, how were they originally characterized in the comics?

The X-Men were originally actual teenage students at Xavier's school, weren't they? Were the Maximoff's portrayed to be around the same age?

Don't think Black Widow's going to be shoehorned into a "big sister" role at all. She seems so screwed up that I don't even think she has a real concept of what it means to have family and friends, apart from Clint.

They were always portrayed as naive so I they would have been quite young I guess. I'm not sure how young but I don't mind a 22-25 year old actress/actor (or a fan favourite) in the roles

Yes I've read that before. That doesn't mean anything. Actions speak louder than words, especially when it comes to shroud businesses, and in terms of actions (and actual reality of the situation) Sony is way more likely for a crossover than X-Men. Not that either one has any iota of happening anyway. Feige said just the other day that it's not happening any time soon.

Well there were no words at all before (that I know of) so it does mean something. Of course actions speak louder but actions means actually doing it and then we wouldn't be discussing whether it was possible or not. There isn't the outright hostility most suspected in the past from Fox on the possibility of cooperation. And really there was never any need for there to be. Fox properties don't automatically get ruined by being allowed to exist alongside Marvel Studio properties.

What is with your hatred of this concept bro? You spend more time typing angrily about it that most people spend dreaming about the idea. Does it cause you physical pain?

Let it go.

Tell them to let it go. Does it cause them physical pain to focus on the characters Marvel owns?

Here we have this fantastic product and it's like guys are so unthankful for it, they're conjuring up the most UNLIKELIEST of scenarios you could ever present .... and they taint all the various Marvel film threads on here with it. I mean c'mon we're recently finding out about budget/salary issues and you want to drag in not only another film company's stars, but another film company itself too (who will surely want a cut of the action)?????? I can't even find a facepalm large enough for that.

We have an MCU. Marvel Films has THEIR slate of characters that they own. It's time people grow up and accept that. Concentrate on what they have and the possibilities. Then again, I am addressing a lot of hardcore fanboys who's imaginations will not allow that to happen.
